news culture Top Gun Maverick: The French are pumping up the movie starring Tom Cruise
Some people will sigh in exasperation upon reading this title, but we have to face facts: the Top Cruise sequel is a real hit! Nostalgia effect, great show or just the actor? The reasons for the success are manifold and France participates in this resounding comeback.
A great success in the theater
Through a tweet, the official account of Paramount Pictures France has just confirmed that it has passed 6 million visitors in France!
The seventh highest grossing in US box office history
A few days ago, Top Gun Maverick distinguished itself by overtaking a real cinema juggernaut at the American box office: Titanic.
Top Gun Maverick, meanwhile, is the must-have of the moment and a simple look at social media is enough to appreciate the magnitude of the phenomenon. Also, on August 15, a certain Scott Altman is celebrating his 63rd birthday. And this gentleman is not just anyone: he is an American pilot, commander and astronaut who has made no less than 4 space flights to his credit! The man who spent 51 days over our heads also has an important connection to Top Gun. In fact, it’s the F-14 pilot who grazes the control tower in the original movie! For filming purposes, he re-did this shot…nine times!
